KOTOR2 won't work.

Recommended Posts

Guest Plastic

I like playing KOTOR2, but after a while, you have to give it a rest. So I stopped playing it for a while. The other day, I decided to give it a go again, but it wouldn't play! My cd-drive would sound busy, and the mouse icon would look busy, but then it would just stop. No black screen, just the desktop.

 

Running kotor2's self-scan thing came up with this: (I have inserted comments)

Problem seems to be with OpenGL (I don't really know what it is, but it seems important)

 

Catalyst™ Control Center (I have an ATI graphics card, my computer is fairly recent) tells me I have

 

Driver OpenGL Version 6.14.10.9232

 

KOTOR2 has worked on this computer before, what's wrong?

 

Know how I can fix it?

What verson of Windows do you have or do you have a Mac?

 

Windows 7 Home Premium (I said I had Windows 7 in the quote area.

 

Apparently I can ignore the openGL thing, but Kotor still won't open. I've tried the Vista fix. :question:

Ever tried to disable cinematics?

 

I'd change this:

 

Disable Movies=1

Disable Intro Movies=1

Sort Modules=1

Width=800 (Whatever your game resolution is)

Height=600 (Whatever your game resolution is)

That's what in my current Kotor2.ini file. Is that everything that should be in a clean install? It seems too short for me. I will try doing the things you suggested. Get back to you later. Perhaps it's the width and height?

 

Edit: I made the changes, and still no go. :-( It's worked on this computer before. I don't understand! I've tried uninstalling and re-installing.

 

The game doesn't even start! I just don't know... Thanks for your help. If you can think of something, please tell.

Fixed by Reinstalling Windows 7 (drastic fix I know, but KOTOR2 wasn't the only game having trouble. Anything Java (On internet or outside internet) wasn't working. That's fixed too. Thanks to those who tried to help me!

 

Edit: I have a feeling that my trying to update Catalyst (graphics driver) somehow caused this. Perhaps I did not install it correctly? All well, I'm not going to try that again soon! ;-D
